RSL and BAE Aerospace of the UK competed to be the authorized vendor to the USAF for these systems.
Migdal Ha'Emek-based RSL Electronics (TASE:RSEL) has won a $1.4 million contract to supply engine temperature control systems and fault detectors for US Air Force (USAF) T-38 trainers.
RSL will deliver $500,000 of the order this year and the rest in 2005. RSL said this was the first order of its kind, since it is equipping only 20% of the planes slated for using the product.

RSL believes that the USAF order will help expedite a follow-on order for the Republic of Korean Air Force (ROKAF), through Samsung Corporation (KSE:830). The USAF contract increases RSL's orders backlog to NIS 43 million.
Last week, RSL won a $1.7 million order for the ROKAF, through Samsung. The order will be delivered this year, as part of a multi-year $9 million contract.
